The tea is too hot for me to drink.

• A. The tea is not too hot for me to drink.
• B. The tea is so hot that I cannot drink it.
• C. The tea is quite hot for me to drink.
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B The tea is so hot that I cannot drink it.

A negative sentence has a negative word like 'no', 'not', 'never' or 'without' along with the verb. Alternately, it has a negative noun like 'nobody' or 'nothing'.

Option A: This is a negative sentence because it has the word 'not' in it. However, this option A is incorrect its meaning is the opposite from that of the original sentence.

Option B is a negative sentence because it has the word 'cannot'. It is correct because the meaning of the sentence is the same as that of the original sentence.

Option C is incorrect because it has no negative word and it is an affirmative sentence.

Option D is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.
